A rigorous Monte-Carlo simulation procedure for ion transport properties in thermal gases

A rigorous procedure of the Monte-Carlo simulation for the motion of ions in gases under the electric fields is developed. This procedure is applicable for the ions having arbitrary collision frequencies dependent on the relative speed referred to the gas particles. Test calculations are performed i...

Description
Summary:A rigorous procedure of the Monte-Carlo simulation for the motion of ions in gases under the electric fields is developed. This procedure is applicable for the ions having arbitrary collision frequencies dependent on the relative speed referred to the gas particles. Test calculations are performed in a model gas consisting of rigid sphere particles at the temperature of 300, K for three ion-neutral mass ratios. The data in good agreement with the corresponding theoretical values under zero field and with the FTI data at several values of reduced electric field verify the validity of this procedure. Fundamental properties of the ion motion in thermal gases are also discussed in relation with the mass ratios.
